Autorenporträt
Captain Frederick Marryat (10 July 1792 – 9 August 1848) was a British Royal Navy officer, novelist, and an early pioneer of the sea story. Marryat is noted for his contributions to the literature of nautical adventure, drawing on his own experiences at sea. Entering the Royal Navy at the age of fourteen, he served during the Napoleonic Wars and achieved the rank of captain. After retiring from naval service in 1830, Marryat devoted himself to writing, producing a series of novels characterized by vivid storytelling and authentic representation of maritime life. His work was influential in shaping the genre that would later be mastered by authors like Herman Melville and Joseph Conrad. One of Marryat's notable works is 'The Pacha of Many Tales' (1835), a novel that showcases his narrative dexterity and command of the comic potential in seafaring adventures. Marryat's literature is celebrated for its wit, humor, and compassionate portrayal of sailors. In addition to his novels, Marryat also authored children's stories, including 'The Children of the New Forest' (1847), an enduring classic of historical fiction. Marryat's influence extended beyond literature; he is credited with the invention of the signal flags known as 'Marryat's Code', which were widely adopted in the 19th century. His literary style combined with his maritime background has established Marryat as a seminal figure in the field of maritime literature.
